Christmas Cheers opens with “The Christmas Can-Can,” a quick-witted number that pulls sidesplitting stops similar to Straight No Chaser's madcap version of “The 12 Days of Christmas.” “We Three Kings” gets sung to Lalo Schifrin’s theme to “Mission Impossible” with cool R&B-tinged vocals, while “Let It Snow” and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” abound with so much soul that both sound like they were produced by Stevie Wonder (in Bobby McFerrin’s recording studio). Other fun reworkings of Holiday faves include a funny rendition of “Jingle Bells,” a swingin’ cocktail cover of “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” and an urban flavored “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” (boasting an impressive beat box rhythm section). “Christmastime Is Here,” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” as well as “O Holy Night” are sung with harmonic precision and impassioned feeling.
